For the first time, astronomers have picked up a radio signal from the mysterious interstellar visitor as it speeds through our Solar System.
South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope detected absorption lines from OH molecules...Harvard professor Avi Loeb, who has been studying 3I/ATLAS since the summer, said: 'These molecules leave a distinct radio signature that telescopes like MeerKAT can pick up.'...
Optical images captured on November 9 reveal that 3I/ATLAS is ejecting enormous jets of material both toward and away from the sun. The jets stretch nearly 600,000 miles sunward and almost 1.8 million miles in the opposite direction, roughly the diameter of the sun or the moon in the sky.
At its current distance of 203 million miles from Earth, these distances represent the first clear measurements of the vast size of 3I/ATLAS's activity....

That signal will fade out and the object will continue on it orbit.
180 degrees, dinkleberry.
They are coming from FR members to take them back to the Dog star.....
Ok, so explain and predict for us.
They only want to serve man, as in on the menu for THEM
Closest approach to Earth will be on 19DEC2025.
Wouldn’t be the first time a “Harvard professor” dallied in the absurd,
The aluminum PQ 36 space modulator.
Almost right. The original acronym stood for RAdio Detection And Ranging.
Please stop this utter stupidity... Please!!!
Avi Loeb. Misleading headline. Click bait.
Personally I’m waiting for their book to come out…. “How to best serve man”…..
Oops! Thanks for correcting my own contribution to the misinformation campaign!
“The extreme scale of 3I/ATLAS’s jets raises fundamental questions. If the object were a natural comet, the jets should move much more slowly and require months to reach the observed distances.”
If this is an interstellar comet, not a periodic one, would you not expect that it would have a full load of ices that never had any previous opportunities to sublimate forming tails. Wouldn’t you expect more powerful tails?
I wish it would hurry. I’m so ready for this.
No worries. I love these scientific threads; they bring out such amazing ignorance, compared to which your slight slip of memory is nothing.
